Ultrasound is regarded as a mainstream technology in the medical sector with applications in prenatal care, cardiology and neurology. Today, user competency issues limit its use, but software applications will make this technology easier and widespread.
Ultrasound technology uses high-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to humans to image different parts of the body. It is a safe procedure as it doesn’t use radiation and can thus be widely employed in obstetrics.
